Seems they have a decent amount of CPU time left over?

I somehow doubt they'll reach a stable 60. It'll probably feel about as stable as Episode Duscae 2.0 did, and if so i'll just opt for the downsampled 30fps setting.

But yeah the game is probably just GPU heavy. There's alot of shaders, lighting and post going on in this engine

 

[LelouchZero]

Holy shit! That's epic! Oh my! 40+ fps at 1080p would be amazing!

 

[Vashetti]

Sounds great.

Yeah makes sense, which will make the Pro shine a lot more with its GPU power. Of course the original version already looked visually complete anyways

 

[wildfire]

Exactly how I've felt for the last 2 years.

I still won't preorder a Pro because reviews should still be used but I'm ecsatic that Squre is pushing for this.

 

[Renekton]

It seems like the engine isn't that CPU heavy after all if they pull this off.

A AAA open-world game that is not CPU-heavy?

 

[Son Of Sparda]

That's amazing news for people who have a Pro. Kudos to SE.

Now, please make sure that my vanilla PS4 gets a solid 30fps version and we are all good SE

damn nice, thanks!

Well to be fair, it doesn't have a huge amount of dynamic AI happening everywhere at once, most of the areas you visit (like in MGS5), besides certain cities look to be barren of people outside of monsters to fight. So its possible that the CPU is freed up more than we think.

Some time ago I read a presentation about FF XV optimization and how improving the CPU task scheduler have made the game able to look as great as it does now.

And if I remember correctly, they made a task scheduler where the CPU was quite busy most of time.

Could be wrong, tho. I cant remember now where I've read that : (

 

[Carlius]

Based Tabata.

Never believed when people said FFXV won't have significant changes for Pro

And I'm picking up my Pro today!

LMFAO. this is amazing.

 

[thelastword]

Native 4K?

Well damn, stand corrected.

You really have not been paying attention, there are so many native games on the Pro and many coming, they're definitely not indies only.

Well actually, they're using all of the CPU power they can with good multithreading. But that's just smart, why leave any performance to stand idle?

BD2's engine programmers are kind of wizards anyway.
You could think anything about the game or SE, but those dudes have done great work.

Yep, that's the image above. They're taking everything PS4 can offer and using it.

 

[Jeels]

If the 1080p mode isn't out until December then I am just going to have to delay playing the game. Lol. Oh well. At least TLG comes out around the same time.

 

[Quonny]

That make you feel better? lul

I already said I stand corrected, no idea, and that it's awesome.

You can play the game at 30fps with amazing IQ at launch, it's only the 1080p unlocked FPS mode that will take a couple of weeks.

 

[10k]

Yes. Yes. Yeeeees.

 

[wmlk]

My boy Tabby. Soft shadows from clouds. plz

 

[chobo]

900p-1080p 30fps

I wish we could do 720p 60fps :x

 

[Always-honest]

Yeah and that will probably look extremely jaggy compared to downscaled 1080P.
But good that we get to choose between frame rate and visual fidelity.

 

[Usual Suspect]

What have you done? Now i need a Pro

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I wish we could do 720p 60fps :x

 

[NightShift]

This would be huge for the Pro if it actually happens. Get a few more big games running at a higher framerate and the upgrade would be worth it.

 

[Gbraga]

I wish we could do 720p 60fps :x

That would be awesome.

 

[Wagram]

Unlocked framerate is as bad as sub 30fps drops. Give me 30 or 60 STABLE.

 

[BigEmil]

It could be after all these months of optimising they managed to reduce workload on the GPU and CPU from all that stuff etc and free up more resources

Unlocked framerate is as bad as sub 30fps drops. Give me 30 or 60 STABLE.

Not really I play on my pc unlocked ranges from 40 to 60 in a game and I prefer it over locked 30, preferences I guess

 

[wmlk]

Did Tabata talk about any visual improvements? I mean, the small resolution bump and 60 fps is huge, but it'd be even better if there was more.

 

[silva1991]

Maybe they will pull it off, but it will be downgraded graphically for that mode and will look like this:

 

[Son Of Sparda]

My man.

One hour of footage from the Xbox One build, all the beginning of the game.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

God dangit my heart can't take this.

 

[GhostOfSparta305]

Seconded.

 

[Japanmanx3]

*shivers* I really don't want to have to get a pro. But if they get this right..........

 

[xemumanic]

I was going to wait on a PC release but now I won't.

 

[Always-honest]

Maybe they will pull it off, but it will be downgraded graphically for that mode and will look like this:

Holy shit..

 

[Blizzje]

Got that KS8000 and Pro ready to go and plat this bad boy.
Going checkerboard 4K all the way IQ to the maxxx! Tabby. My man!

 

[DieH@rd]

Very good news. I thought they would offer only higher res @ 30.

 

[wmlk]

Maybe they will pull it off, but it will be downgraded graphically for that mode and will look like this:

What makes you think that lol.

 

[Lion Heart]

This is going to be the big Pro game. Definitely taking some vacation days for this and TLG.

 

[AmyS]

Amazing news, just as I am headed out the door to pick up my PS4 Pro from GameStop.

 

[dragonzdogma]

OMG!!!
The last part of the FF main theme is playing inside my brain!
Arranged in angelic voices, Is Glorious I tell ya!!!

 

[Omnistalgic]

Native 4K?

Well damn, stand corrected.

I think NBA2K as well...So maybe there’s hope for at least Madden/Fifa to be native?

You post is correct if you lower the percentage probably, 85% of PS4 games will be checkerboard 4K.

Scorpio should hit something like 95% native I guess

 

[Cerbero]

Now I want a Pro again.

same, fuck me.

 

[BasilZero]

So if that is the case, what would the performance be like for the OG PS4?


1080p/30 FPS?

As long as its stable 30 FPS, I am fine with that.

 

[silva1991]

What makes you think that lol.

Just a guess

I don't really trust consoles to do 60fps graphically advanced open world games yet.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

So if that is the case, what would the performance be like for the OG PS4?


1080p/30 FPS?

As long as its stable 30 FPS, I am fine with that.

900-1080p

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

1080p/30 FPS?

As long as its stable 30 FPS, I am fine with that.

Frame rate on both PS4 and xb1 are consistent 30 fps.

Thanks for posting this!

 

[Somnia]

Thanks for posting this!

Yep!

Forgot to mention it's all in English too

 

[icespide]

60fps in a patch at a later date? shit I guess I'm waiting to play then :/
